Its not pretty but its the first thing I've cooked in a while so I'm sharing my mediocrity. 

Pork loin chops and a CauliBroc Cheese - Born from my excited declaration when I got home from work and a grocery run.

'Look husband, these big chunks of short date (2 weeks) Jarlsberg straight off the wheel were 75% off! I got 2!'

 

And his reply - "yeah, me too" 9_9

 

 

There is no such thing as too much Jarlsberg.

I had a tradition for my daughters' 16th birthdays, that I would take them (alone) to dinner at a French restaurant. My middle one asked if she could have a steak. I said she could. She asked if I thought they would have Heinz 57 or A-1. I told her it would not matter if they did or not, she would not use it. Not there, not for that steak. For one night, she could be grown up.

Dinner is still cooking but I may forget to take pictures when it's done so... Cajun shrimp boil tonight, minus the boil. Nice weather made the smoker feel like a better idea. Top to bottom, Cajun spiced potatoes in the foil pan (mainly just using the heat, not trying to get heavy smoke in those), corn on the cob (pulled the husks back, removed the silk, rubbed 'em with butter and a little Cajun spice and closed 'em up again), spicy smoked sausages (no andouille available locally, I generally make my own but haven't got around to it yet this year with smoker season just getting started) and Cajun spiced shrimp.

I don't know how long the grocery store has been carrying these, but I bought this when the advertised fresh lake perch was nowhere to be seen.  This is mainly memorable because neither one of us cares for salmon unless it is smoked.  However, this looked interesting enough to try.  It was labeled Maple and Smoked Pepper Salmon, and came on it's own little cedar plank.  It was baked in the oven and was surprisingly (to us) tasty.  I would get it again, but cook it less.  The label said to cook it to 156F which I thought was too much.  I pulled it at 150 but it was a bit dry.  140F next time, maybe?

 

Served with good old Uncle Ben's rice, carrots and a small salad.

Quick supper tonight 'cos my back was killing me...and I haven't even started gardening!

I always have packages of President's Choice Udon Noodles on hand and shrimp in the freezer. Picked up beansprouts and cut some garlic chives from the garden. So, it was Spicy Noodles with Shrimp and Beansprouts.

These noodles are so cheap (under $2.00 / package) and handy to keep on hand - no refrigeration required. Seasoned with oyster sauce and sweet chili sauce, the noodles are chewy and hold the sauces well. The sprouts and chives are thrown in for the last couple of minutes. I like to have fresh sprouts also with mine.

More (con)fusion food.

 

Pork kidney marinated in Shaoxing wine with garlic, ginger and Sichuan pepper oil. Quickly stir fried, a splash of soy sauce. Served with Dijon mustard and Mat Kimchi (막김치).

I havent cooked a fresh scallop at home for so long I can't remember how I did it.

 

these days they are ridiculously expensive , and far from the freshness Id like

 

I think I used to chill them for a bit in the freezer first to firm up

 

I am in complete agreement that even the hint of OverDone ruins them.

 I’m laughing out loud. Not sure if I’m looking at a crime scene or pornography.   It’s the pose I think.:oxD

Supposed to be "broad beans with Speck" (and cream) but I didn't have any broad beans so I improvised. Ate it with boiled potatoes.

My Ascension long weekend ends with this.

Small but good and lasts 3 meals because it's Bresse. Still haven't found chicken that's better than Bresse yet.

Did you put the tuna cakes directly on the air fryer basket?

 Chicken katsudon.   I amazed even myself on this one. That chicken was as perfect as it could be.  It was a small thigh that I took off the bone and then flattened somewhat with the spine of my knife before breading and frying it.  We all know the consequences of pride so stay tuned for breakfast tomorrow. :o
